Great game but issues need to be ironed out. The game works very well. I give it three stars because certain abilities (like dragon master) have to be used at a specific point in your turn or cannot be used at all. Dragon master must be placed at the beginning of your turn. If you forget then no Dragons for you. You may be thinking that I need to be more aware of turn management. The computer can use any ability at any point in the turn (such as dragon master). There are several issues like this. They are usually token placement related.

Can't use online I bought the game tried to go online with it but for some reason it does not allow it. I love the board game and days of wonder games in general are great, however it seems the support for this is on the bottom of their priorities. I tried contacting support its been around 2 months and I haven't received a response. Very dissapointed. I suggest never buying this app until they at least have a support team assigned to this.

Good but crashes I enjoy playing the game, and don't regret the price tag. Unfortunately it has been crashing approximately once per game on me. At this point all I can do is wait for fixes that I figure are coming. It's a little tough to play on a phone and would be better on a tablet but it's still doable and fun. This is a 5 star game if you like strategy board games but I can't ignore the crashes.

Found a bug This game is great! We also own the physical copy and don't get it to the table enough. I did find one bug though. When my daughter and I were playing"Head to Head" I noticed that even though the ability and race tiles flip for each player the text on the descriptions do not. Be sure to check out my reviews at kybg.blogspot or facebook\kentuckyboredgamer twitter @kyboredgamer where i also post one game I play EVERY DAY!

Local play good. Online play terrible I love this game and it's great played locally amongst friends. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of the online experience. The game server connection keeps dropping despite my Internet connection being fine. It feels like the online experience is still in beta or something

Really fun but buggy I get weird bugs like not being able to pinch to zoom out so I can't see the whole map. Other times the turns won't switch so you have to restart. Fun when it works! HTC m8 T-Mobile

Single player good, multi-player buggy Love the board game and decided to get the mobile version. The single player is a lot of fun (4 stars) and is true to the game, but after convincing my board game group to get the game and trying multi-player, it's quite disappointing. Half the time one my friends can't see the invite, once we got a couple games going, the app started crashing regularly. As a software developer, I would feel bad putting my name on as buggy an experience as that, let alone charging money for it.

Bought this game to specifically play with a group of friends. When I try to create an account, it says my email is invalid and the OK/Cancel buttons are grayed out. Rebooted my phone to no avail. I tried creating an account both through the Invite Buddies menu and the Configuration menu--neither worked. Requested a refund for the game. Last update for the game was July 2014, so this is probably part of the problem.

So upset This is my favorite board game, so I convinced 2 of my out of state friends to download it to play with. If I leave the app, suddenly the game no longer exists. Doesnt matter if its the first turn or the last. For 7 dollars for an app, I didn't expect it to have such an obvious flaw. Thanks for nothing Days of Wonder.

So far. So good! :) It's a great game. One of the main reason(s) why I love my Android device even more. I can't wait for other board games like this. 4 stars because (1)expansions don't work unless you have internet connection, (2) it's due for another update with more maps and (3) we need an iphone/iPod version of this game.

Good A solid tile laying point scoring game. Weak video tutorial rather than in game tutorial. Single map - a selection or random maps would be a great update and add a lot of variety , if the AI players could cope with them. Expensive at £6 - and £6 more for the genuinely optional expansion packs - but a solid complete and fully playable game for your £6.

Turns off my play music when it's in focus I wanted something to play on my commute, but using this app prevents me from concurrently listening to music. This is an unnecessary and invasive imposition. I can imagine no circumstances where I'd want to play in silence, for I'm certainly not interested in being forced to listen to the game music on loop.

Gameplay is good. Some things like when to use special tokens. Diplomacy or dragon master arnt as simple to use as they could be. My major issue is the online. You cant register your account because the button is greyed out so no online. If this was fixed 5* but now only a 3.

Fun game, but it can't find my friend's account who's sitting next to me. Would be nice if the multiplayer worked as it seems it should, ie, being able to locate people. Also, there's no support anymore... Oh and why can't I listen to my own music?

We like it. My wife and I play board games on our phones through the day. This works well, easy to learn, games aren't overly long so you don't get bored. I do wish it had Asynchronous Multiplayer though, but that's not a deal breaker for me. I can't say much about online play, because with no asynchronous multiplayer, we only play it over WiFi and that has always worked very well.

Faithfully Reproduced Edited because of login requirements. I understand why you're doing it; but once you deny me paid content, you're making it far too clear whose interests are primary. 5 stars is for single player only, haven't tried multi yet. Great board game. Pretty solid AI. Maybe it's a little expensive, but I've got the game at home and this is a comparable experience for a quarter of the price. Not to mention, if playing solo, about an eighth of the time.

Jankity connection The game itself is well done, but playing is always a frustrating experience. It starts by pausing whatever music you have playing-even when the game volume is set to nill. Then it has to authenticate you. Then it does it again. Then about half the time it won't remember what games you have in progress. If you're waiting on another player to make their last move the finished game will suddenly appear in a seemingly random location on the list making it take effort to find out who won.

App has been fixed for the most part. they have fixed a bunch of issues. fix 3 more to earn the last star: 1. game still crashes sometimes. rare, but happens. 2. time per person is hard to understand. just go back to turn timer. 3. games that are over will not leave the games in progress screen - make them go away after looking at the results.

Karim, did you get our last response from our Tech Support line? The example session you gave to us showed that there was a misunderstanding in your mind about the way asynchronous games were supposed to behave and how they timed out. We hope you can now play complete games with your friends. Have fun!

Nothing that needs Internet works with this game If you only want a game to play locally, it works fine. But *nothing* that requires connectivity works. Account creation wouldn't work, so I got my friend with an iPad to set one up for me. Then we tried to play online and I got kicked out. Repeatedly. Even when it just tries to update scores online that fails and the game crashes.

Could ask no more This is a wonderful port of the new classic board game for a fraction of the cost. The expansions are a bit bare bones, but come at a very good price. The only complaint I have is that the online community is not very active.

Haven't made it through a game, of any kind, without the app crashing. I'm using a Samsung S3. It's not an outlandishly obscure phone. And I'm shocked and frustrated this app consistently doesn't work. I'm incredibly disappointed and regretful of my purchase. I feel ripped off. To make matters worse, this game seems to want to destroy my data plan since it verifies my download every time I open the app.

The game works on Galaxy S3 devices usually. Sorry it does not work on your device. Send us your transaction id at :

Crashes all the time Crashes constantly and loses game progress. Desperately needs an option to remove animations completely. The very expensive extra content is only available when connected to the Internet, which isn't always an option, and is just stupid. These 3 issues cause huge obstructions to game play and enjoyment. 5 stars if these were fixed.

Wifi Connectivity Issue & Sound Game works as expect and the interface is fine. Two issues I have are the sound can't be disabled completely, which interrupts music that I'm listening to. And the bigger issues is the complete crapping out of the game when trying to connect over wifi. My friends and I all suffer from the same issue, all on Nexus 4 or 5 and Lollipop. Seriously needs fixing!!

Game is fun app could be so much better The game is a lot of fun but setting it up is a real pain. Could easily be a 5star game but adding an account and friends is all done via the website and cannot be done in the app and the website itself is frustrating requiring you to change your password if you log into steam and both you and your friend adding each other individually with no accepting of requests etc. After it's set up it's more about the game which is great but for a $9 game i really expect more.

Well-designed app Imagery, animations, and game play are excellent, with graphics taken straight from the board game. Races, special powers, and even the game boards seem to be exactly the same as the board game, so I'm not sure what the "2" is for in Smallworld 2. Must be online when you open the app in order to use the expansions that you purchase in-game, which is extremely annoying and a hassle for WiFi-only tablets.

Stop whining I have only played this in local mode so I can't comment on network. But those who are whining about the AI being too tough, you must really suck at this. I win about 2 out of 3 games and I've never played before. It's challenging but not impossible.

A Great Sequel to the Original This app is a great sequel to the original Small World. If you are unsure about the rules and game play of the paper game then it's great to have the digital version to test yourself against. Also, it's a cheap way to see if you want to invest in a paper copy of Small World 1. A few small issues with this version, but overall it's a good app.

Disappointed. Has Potential. Imagine playing against someone who always gets lucky rolls and never makes a mistake. That is what it is like playing this AI. Great graphics and game play are ruined by an AI that almost always wins. After playing a lot, I sometimes notice that the AI scores bonus points when their race is in decline and that it adds the points wrong sometimes also.

It crashes alot Played about 12 games and 11 of them have crashed. For 10 bucks a game should not crash this much. It is fun tho. Works on one of my devices without crashing. Galaxys s 3 crashes all the time. Besides that is a great game. In app purchases are worth the few bucks keeps good varaity. Get the real gave if you want to play with more than two people in the same room with one device. Pass and play is available but it is not fun and slow. Online pay its ok. Heads up is lots of fun.

The game is technically competent, well presented and has a reasonable interface. I strongly dislike playing this because there seems to be nothing to do but stand by and lose. Badly. Absolutely frustrating. I had to uninstall before I broke my phone out of anger. It still deserves 3 stars because it works and is very pretty to look at and doesn't deserve to be demoted because I simply don't like it.

Extremely satisfied except for a few quirks I played the board game and fell in love with this game! Immediately purchased the app and it works like a charm and plays almost perfectly. The only problem i have with it is that the map needs be made smaller because the map pieces around the border are to close to the edge and i cant move my troops if they are on the edge. Also another thing i cant figure out is id the game is cross platform meaning can i play this game with my friends that have iphones if i have an android phone.

Wifi Needed for Extras I had this game on the ipad and loved it. Works fine but if you purchase the very expensive expansion packs they will not work without wifi. I don't have wifi available where I'm at so it's been a waste of money.

Gameplay Kills WiFi No other app on my nexus 6 kills my wifi. But I can barely get through my turn in Smallworld before the wifi signal dies, the game can't connect and I'm forced back to the game's main menu. Please fix!

Needs work It's hard to read the small text on phones, and I can't really see any of the artwork. I wish the ui was a lot better. Head to head mode doesn't properly display text either. I really like the game, but the digital port needs more love.

Good game when it works Giving two stars because I was able to play the game on my girlfriends phone and I really like it but on my galaxy s3 it force crashes whenever I try to start the game already emailed you go though waiting on response probably tomorrow thanks

Great single player. Bugged online play. Single player game works perfectly. This game is exactly like the board game, but this app will not let me access the online features even though I made an account and everything. This is on an LG g3.

Ai is impossible Decent game but ai is way way too good. Almost imposdible to win. I don't play online much so this is really bad for me. Add a difficulty slider and I'll rereview. Also someone is hacking the game somehow, the all time high score comes out to forty points a turn which is completely impossible. Not much of an issue there but thought devs may like to know.

fun occasionally the connection is a little wacky. i do own the tabletop version which is why I got the app. and the game translates well and a plus is I don't have to take the time for set-up. my boyfriend and I had a great time doing the pass and play while trying to kill time at the airport.

I don't recommend people buy this app (unless they are interested in only single player games) Great game, app works really well in single player mode. App itself hasn't been updated in 2 years - the online play mode appears to be broken - so no group play. Development team doesn't respond to emails - it looks like Days of Wonders have left this app to die. Too bad.
